Yale Police 🤝 Yale Security

We love this picture of YPD Officer Shauna Chavous & Security Officer Ben Greene. They inspired the next generation at the Future Law Enforcement Youth Academy this summer hosted at Yale.

But it’s not just then — every day our police and security officers work together to protect and support students, faculty, staff, and visitors across campus.
